Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine 250 g Turkey mince, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Burger seasoning and 2 tablespoon Red onion.
  • Form into two patties.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon Olive oil in a pan and add the burger patties. Smash the patty down with an oiled spatula. Fry over a medium-high heat for 4 minutes.
  • Flip the burger over and cook for a further 4 minutes.
  • Add 50 g Light mature cheddar to the burgers.
  • Cover the burger with a cloche (we used a saucepan lid), and cook for one more minute. This will help the cheese to melt.
  • Meanwhile, toast the 2 Burger buns.
  • Build your burger. Spread 2 portion Burger sauce on both bun halves, then add 70 g Lettuce, 1 Beef tomato (sliced), 40 g Pickled red onions and 40 g Gherkins.

Notes

  • Make sure your spatula is well oiled before using it to smash down the burgers, otherwise it will stick to it and pull it apart.
  • Make sure to smash them down into thin patties.
  • Don't worry if all the edges look uneven when you smash it down, as that's meant to happen. You get more crispy bits that way.
  • Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the burgers are cooked all the way through. Ground turkey is cooked when it has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Make sure your pan is really hot before adding the burgers, as you want them to start sizzling right away.
